Les Blacklands

Les Blacklands is an island off the northern shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, among the islands near the entrance to Baie des Loups. The coast here is broken into bays, rocky islands and narrow passages, with outcrops exposed by the tides. Seabirds nest on these offshore islands, including Atlantic puffins, while the waters beyond open onto the gulf. The island belongs to a long northern coast facing Anticosti and the approaches to the Strait of Belle Isle.
